    This episode launches our brabd new 7 part series, 'Faith in the Climb'. We are starting at the begining: what it's like to come to God and begin a new relationship with him.


    We talk about how following Christ can feel like learning a whole new way of being - from awkward first steps in church, to realising God is reshaping our hearts and priorities. Along the way, we wrestle with self conviction (without condemnation), letting go of false idols and what it means to live on the narrow path.

    Episode Highlights:

    - The difference between self-conviction and God's grace.

    - Identifying and surrendering idols (like coffee and food).

    - How scripture and prayer guide is in daily decisions.

    - The parable of the sower and the environments shaping our faith.

    - Experiencing the beauty of being adopted into God's family.


    God doesn't force His love on us - He offers it freely, waiting patiently for us to respond. In that responce, we discover a relationship that refines, challenges and blesses us beyond measure.


    Scriptures:

    Matthew: 13: 3-9

    Luke: 12: 7

  • The Still Small Voice - Restored & Renewed
    Sep 2 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome to the first episode of 'The Still Small Voice', a space within The Muddy Cross where I share my personal stories of everyday life and how God speaks through them.

    In Restored & Renewed, I tell the story of a wooden heart - born from a message at church and shaped in my workshop - that God then used to reveal His love and renewal.

    Like the heart, our lives carry marks and scars, yet in God's workshop there is always room for repair and restoration.


    Scriptures:

    Job 14: 7-9

    Ezekiel 36: 26


    My Prayer is that as your listen to this episode, you'll be reminded that you are God's masterpiece, deeply loved, restored and renewed by His grace.

From chasing spiritual answers in new ages practices and diving into conspiracy theories, to an encounter that shook everything we thought we knew - this is the story of how grace broke through the grit.

    If you've ever felt lost in life's maze, searching for truth in all the wrong places, or simply longing for something real - this episode is for you.

    Welcome back to The Muddy Cross - a space for honest, umfiltered conversations about faith, family and following Christ. Together we explore how God's grace meets us in life's grit and what it really means to walk with Him day by day.


    In this episode, The Great Humbling, we pick up where Episode 4 left off: moving our business onto a new premisis and setting up the land. That same season brought huge changes - we chose yo home educate our boys, navigated grief and loss, downsized from a house into a touring caravan and faced the challenges of lockdown during covid.

    Through it all, God was stripping us bare, refining us and teaching us dependence on Him. From downsizing and letting go of materialism, to rediscovering simplicity, nature and faith, we began a deeper spiritual journey marked by questions, humility and God's grace.


    Key Points in This Episode:

    - Choosing home education and a simpler life

    - Downsizing and living in a caravan as a family

    - Navigating grief, lockdowns and uncertainty

    - God's refining work in trails and suffering

    - Learning to depened on Him above all else


    Scriptures Shared:

    - Isaiah 48: 10

    - Job 23: 10

    - Deuteronomy 8: 2-3

    - Matthew 6: 19-21

    Send us a text

    In this episode of our 'Grace in the Grit' series, we open up about a season that was a true roller coaster of emotions.

    From the joy of marriage, to the heartbreak of miscarriage... from celebrating the birth of our first son, to facing the loss of our careers and the falling into the traps of everyday living - and this was just the start!

    What we didnt realise at the time was that God's hand was over us, even when we were completely unaware.
